Fog Hounds Rebalanced ‘n’ Reintegrated
It’s been five years since an update. Lets give these puppies the love they deserve.
Fog Hounds now appear anywhere Fogmen do, including patrols, raids, and invasions.
They’ve also received some significant balance changes as detailed below.
Comments and suggestions welcome! Enjoy.
